A federal judge on Aug. 23 denied requests made by former Trump administration officials Mark Meadows and Jeffrey Clark to avoid arrest in Fulton County, Georgia, over state charges related to the 2020 election results while their requests to move the case to federal court are pending.
Mr. Meadows and Mr. Clark have been named as defendants in an indictment against former President Donald Trump and a total of 18 others. Their actions in the former president’s challenge of the Georgia election results have led to them being charged with violating the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
